| - Whenever I see a lunch special sign in Carefree, I nearly crash my car trying to turn in. Sitting outside this charming looking restaurant with a large water fountain out front is just that - a lunch special sign. Waiting inside, however, were no lunch specials. So, if you choose to dig your teeth into their World Famous Gyro sandwich, you're going to pay about $11 bucks. Not terribly expensive, but not special.
What WAS special about Saba's is the very attentive waiter who looked like he was handling everything from greeting, cooking to toilet cleaning (I hope not during my visit). He did it all with a smile on his face. However, that just meant my quick lunch turned into an hour lunch - take away points for that.
When I did get my piping hot World Famous Gyro sandwich, I was pleasantly surprised. The pita sandwich wrap is like a mixture of sourdough and pizza crust with a Mediterranean twist. Delicious! They also served an extra side of Tzatziki sauce and lots of tender meat overflowing out of the gyro - add the point back.
Overall, I will go back to Saba's to try other dishes. But with the long wait, fairly expensive prices for lunch and dinner, I'm going to wait till I have more time. And more money in my wallet.
